To get a better feel for how comfortable these shoes are I wore them for the entire day and not just on the course. If you’re walking around your local supermarket in them then fellow golfers might give you a knowing look, but to anyone else they will just appear to be trainers. This also makes them ideal to take on holiday as you won’t need to change them for any non-golfing activities but they still look the part.

To the untrained eye the Ignite Fasten8 Pro does not necessarily stand out as being a ‘golf shoe’. The silver Puma logo on the side is very stylish, while the lace fastener is very modern and hi-tech looking. In fact, this should be made compulsory on any shoe! As someone who is often too lazy to untie laces before putting on shoes, this was a most welcome addition for me. The design of the heel (see above photo) is a nice feature as the way it turns outwards reduces the risk of blisters and makes it easier to get your foot in without pressing down on the back of the shoe with your heel. On a links course you rarely need to worry about mud, even in winter, but on parkland courses in the UK a pair of white shoes may be asking for trouble. The white and grey variant is particularly swish looking but when deciding on colour you need to consider the kind of course you play on. The black and white design is the most practical and will stay looking new for longer, but the lighter coloured versions look great on a summer day with a pair of shorts. There are only three colour options available in the Pro version, although the regular and disc versions do have a wider selection available. The rubber nubs are placed in such a way to provide increased traction throughout the golf swing which allows you to swing your hardest without worrying about any kind of slip or foot movement.Īll three variations of the Ignite Fasten8 are fully waterproof but the Pro version gives you that extra bit of protection from the more severe weather conditions due to the fully synthetic microfibre upper. The sole consists of the same tried and trusted strategically-designed directional traction lugs that Puma have used on previous shoes. Essentially the shoe feels like it is hugging your foot. The eight webbing straps are secured from underneath the foot so when the laces are tightened, each of the straps deliver a secure, personalised fit for all foot shapes and sizes. The lace system is quite sophisticated and features advanced nylon webbing straps (the PWSTrap system) which are integrated into the lacing system to wrap the foot securely as you lace them up. Basically this shoe has a very comfortable sole (made from IGNITE Foam) and a secure fitting upper (that’s the PWRCage) that wraps around your foot and gives you added stability when taking your shots. What does all that mean in plain English? I’ll attempt to translate for you. While the outsole utilizes a Pro-Form TPU outsole with an ORGANICALLY-ALTERED TRACTION pattern." “A full-length IGNITE Foam midsole, wrapped in SoleShield for added durability, provides unparalleled comfort and energy return to help you feel and play your best all day long. The Microfiber upper combined with PWRFrame TPU overlays provide a breathable and 1 year waterproof warranty that will be sure to turn heads.
With each new shoe Puma release there seems to be more technological advancements and the Ignite Fasten8 is packed with innovative features.Īccording to Puma, “The TPU structure of the PWRCage helps provide unparalleled support around the midfoot while the laces integrated webbing straps help wrap the midfoot for a secure fit.
